Group rides, whether training based or more relaxed, are planned, organised and structured to make the most of your cycling time. A week with us will help you add significant mileage to an existing training plan. Cycling in Mallorca provides the ideal training camp destination or good times touring on the bike.
Winter camps start at only £45 pp pn for 2 people sharing apartment room staying at the SunWing Beach hotel in Port d'Alcudia for bed, breakfast (provided in-room) and group riding.
Wednesday – A social relaxing recovery ride day.
Fast paced riding developing disciplined and coordinated close group riding skills. Typically 130km to 160km-plus days using all the variable terrain types and climbs Mallorca offers. A structured program that builds strength and speed.
The performance group is orientated toward those riders with sporting aspirations, it is facilitated to be progressive and disciplined developing core cycling fitness at training a strong endurance base. Core conditioning is the physical objective and the benefit of Mallorca's roads ensures this core conditioning will be attained with a speed element that will raise the base riding speed of those within the group.
Using the variety of Mallorca's terrain and road network the progression of the group will introduce various challenges over the duration of your stay to ensure each day is varied and demanding.
Tranquil country lanes leading to beautiful rural villages. From orange groves to vineyards and hidden valleys to mountain top monasteries. Moderate paced sportive group riding typically covering 80 to 110km per day depending on terrain and coffee/lunch stop options.
The sportive group is the iconic group to cycle in, a degree of on bike fitness is required before you arrive in Mallorca, it is physically challenging and will take on some hill climbs and descents but is primarily about the enjoyment of cycling through the countryside of Majorca.
This is the group that sits down to dinner with all the stories to tell of the places they've discovered and the experiences they've had.
The group is structured and co-ordinated to ensure efficient cycling with the objective of going to places of interest, all sharing the pace and riding as an organised and coordinated sporting group.
Moving in unison to assist each other to get to a place ensures skill development and after your stay, fitness will be developed allowing you to progress onto bigger sportive challenges.
This is discovering the unknown Mallorca, unexpected locations, tranquil country roads, beautiful rural villages, scenic climbs and local cuisine. Days that include rolling roads, hill climbs, orange groves and vineyards, stunning turquoise coves to rocky headlands, Mallorca has it all and its waiting for you to see it, smell it and taste it with this sportive group.
A regulated even paced riding group for those looking to build stamina for sportive events and endurance charity rides. Coordinated group riding that is structured to develop fitness and comfort over long distances. Taking in some of Mallorca's most scenic climbs and rolling countryside.
The Sportive Endurance group is specifically designed for anyone looking to build endurance stamina in a concentrated environment with the objective of completing challenging sportives or endurance charity rides.
The pleasure from sportive or charity challenges is being able to complete them in comfort and with a fitness that allows you to enjoy the event and the social ambiance associated with such events. It's about having the confidence in your fitness and skill to have fun on the bike.
Efficiency of cycling is fundamental and so each daily ride will be structured and co-ordinated to gain from the benefits of group riding and shared pace setting, learning the dynamics and protocols of group cycling technique.
Your stay will increase your fitness and the time cycling will increase your comfort threshold.
Skills will be developed to allow close proximity riding in a group with relaxation and comfort. The pace will be regulated and steady so as to develop core strength and permit recovery, each ride thus increasing core conditioning to give a solid foundation of fitness to allow objectives to be comfortably attained.
A social element is fundamental to this mainstream element of cycling and so routes will visit some of Mallorca's most beautiful towns for coffee and lunch whilst also incorporating the varied beautiful countryside and scenic climbs.
This is the group that focuses on the majority of cyclists involved in the sport, because cycling tends to become addictive, you either have been or you most likely will be cycling more frequently in the future, with friends or may be in a club.
The benefits gained in the Sportive Endurance group will positively enhance all your future cycling and make objectives more attainable.
The Touring Group rides at a more relaxed pace, the wonderful views and excellent coffee stops being more important than a high average speed. We find quiet roads with breathtaking scenery, passing through beautiful Mallorcan villages, sometimes riding next to the sea, sometimes into the mountains. We have the time to really appreciate the Mallorcan countryside, to chat and get to know other riders in the group, even the time to stop and take a photograph. Our guided rides vary in length from 50 kms to 80 kms for riders who enjoy getting on their bikes and exploring parts of the island that most tourists never discover. The Touring cycling group is ideal for those that enjoy adventures and using the bike as a means to visit places of interest or if you are new to road cycling and want an introduction to spending the best part of the day on two wheels.
Join us, no matter your ability, it's always fun!

This is a really cool and experimental track from The Wandering Accident - an Erie rock band featuring a good friend and well known face in the Pittsburgh music scene - John Bixby. As the former bassist and music arranger/composer of The Jungle - he was also a relentless promoter, known for printing enormous flyers with the faces of jungle creatures and plastering them all over the city. Following the advice of his promotional material was never a mistake, some of my greatest college memories are from Jungle shows. The photo of me in the orange shirt is me rapping with the band (Hans Lorei was the lead singer).
It was nearing the end of July and I was living in Pittsburgh in the basement of a gay bar called 5801 - working in a research lab during the day, and djing at night. I was invited to a wedding. It was kind of a big deal to go because I was literally in the room when the happy couple met. They were partners in this dance competition and were super cute and shy around each other at first. I anticipated (and received) a tender ceremony, and a rocking party. Also I had been hoping to visit Erie to link with John and work on this track. I went up a day early and we got right to work recording - plugging in cables gets challenging the more drinks one tends to consume.
He lived upstairs from a swanky restaurant, in a two bedroom with his enormous brother and the brother's girlfriend. Every room of the house, including the kitchen, was filled to the ceiling with musical instruments. The stove was completely covered by assembled drumkits and makeshift noisemakers and was unusable. It was basically paradise. I really like how the track turned out - sorry for waiting 6 months to post it John and can't wait until the next time I'm up in Erie making noise.

Mexico vs Chile live stream: Time, TV channels and how to watch international friendly online

While rumors are aplenty of Gerardo "Tata" Martino being announced as manager of the Mexico National Team later this year, El Tri still have three games remaining before the end of Ricardo "Tuca" Ferretti's second stint as interim manager. In their final home game of the season, the Mexico National Team travel to the Estadio La Corregidora in central Mexico to take on their equivalent of Chile.
It goes without saying, a lot of the headlines heading into this one will focus on Chile's 7-0 victory over Mexico back in 2016. But truth be told, this is a completely different Mexico side, and any talk about a "revenge" factor seems like a stretch.
In their previous game, which Mexico went on to win 3-2, Ferretti took the unusual step of playing a second string side against a near-full strength Costa Rica team. This seems to indicate that we will get to see the likes of Nestor Araujo, Hirving "Chucky" Lozano, and other first-team regulars from the get-go.
El Tri will certainly need to, as they will face a Chile side boasting of stars like Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal. La Roja, though, haven't been doing as hot lately, after missing out on the 2018 World Cup, and arrive on the back of a 3-0 defeat to Peru.
It is worth mentioning that historically speaking, minus the aforementioned beating in the Copa America Centenario, Chile had always been a rather accessible team for Mexico. Prior to "the 7-0", El Tri had lost just twice in their last 13 games against La Roja. Querétaro fans will hope that they can add another W to that record on Tuesday.

Ukraine's energy minister says 'difficult' days lie ahead after latest Russian attacks
FILE PHOTO: Extraordinary meeting of European Union energy ministers in Brussels
KYIV (Reuters) - Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko said on Saturday that the coming days would be "difficult" on the energy front after a massive missile attack by Russia hit critical infrastructure in several regions.
"Due to the shelling in the majority of the regions, emergency (power) cut-offs are being introduced. The coming days will be difficult," he wrote on Facebook.
Galushchenko said energy infrastructure in six Ukrainian regions was damaged after the attacks.
DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy company, said two of its thermal power stations were hit in Saturday's strikes. One station stopped producing electricity.
Government officials have previously said that about 40% of Ukraine's energy system has been damaged following three months of missile and drone attacks on the country's energy infrastructure.
Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the president's office, said that more than 300,000 generators were delivered to Ukraine in December as the country battles to survive the cold winter months despite the damage to power infrastructure.

Israel's Final Warning on Iran
October 8, 2013 by John
from the Gatestone Institute:
The coming weeks probably represent the last opportunity for Iran and the international community to reach an enforceable deal that will dismantle Tehran's nuclear weapons program, before Israel concludes that time has run out, that Iran has gotten too close to creating its first atomic bombs, and that the time for a military strike has arrived.
Despite Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's well-planned and deceptive charm offensive at the United Nations last week, so far not a single uranium-enriching centrifuge has stopped spinning in the underground nuclear facilities in Natanz and Qom. The heavy water plutonium facility at Arak is moving forward, and Iran has already amassed enough low-enriched uranium for the production of seven to nine atomic bombs.
The speech given by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu at the United Nations last week, in which he warned that Israel would act alone against Iran if it needed to, is an authentic warning, and serves a dual purpose.
First, the speech reintroduces a credible military threat and aims it squarely at the Islamic Republic.
This notice is important as deterrence against Iran has waned significantly since August, when President Barack Obama hesitantly climbed down from his commitment to carry out a military strike on Iran's ally, the Syrian regime, over its use of chemical weapons to massacre civilians.
A diminished threat of military force leaves diplomatic efforts with Iran almost no chance of success: it leaves Iran with virtually no incentive to stop its nuclear progress, despite the painful economic sanctions it faces.
With no military threat, Iran might well conclude that the sanctions could disappear in the course of endless rounds of diplomacy, in which skilled Iranian negotiators would succeed in getting some of the sanctions lifted while giving up very little in return.
Many of America's allies in the Middle East are very concerned about the lack of deterrence; and Netanyahu, keen to ensure that he has given talks with Iran all possible opportunities before taking matters into his own hands, has placed the military threat firmly back on the table, lest Iran forget that even if the U.S. will not act militarily any time soon, Israel most certainly will if it must.
The second purpose of Netanyahu's speech was to put the international community on notice regarding the urgency of the situation, and to send the message that even if many in the West have fallen for Iran's "campaign of smiles," Israel has not, and if Israeli concerns are neglected, action will be taken.
Should the international community continue to allow Iran to buy more time for its nuclear program, as it has done for more than a decade, after Netanyahu's warning, it will not be able to respond with surprise when Israel attacks Iran's nuclear sites.
Israel's leadership has long since concluded that a nuclear-armed Iranian regime — a regime that is doctrinally and theologically committed to Israel's destruction, and that controls a state-sponsored terrorist network, active worldwide — is an outcome many times more dangerous than any military attack.
Israel's defense establishment recognizes that stringent U.S.-led economic sanctions have forced Iran to the negotiating table. But senior officials, such as Israel's Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, have warned that merely arriving for negotiations and offering "sweet talk" is no reason to reward Iran by easing sanctions. On the contrary, easing sanctions now would guarantee that talks will fail.
Similarly, any agreement that allows Iran to continue to enrich uranium under the guise of a civilian energy program will simply enshrine Iran's position as a nuclear breakout state. Only tangible, verifiable steps that will ensure Iran is pushed back by years from its current progress could be considered an accomplishment.
Against the background of these developments, it is worth bearing in mind that the core of Jerusalem's defense doctrine holds that Israel cannot depend on any foreign power — even its most trusted ally, the United States — to deal with an existential security threat.
Israel's clock, which gauges Iranian nuclear progress, ticks faster than that of America's, due to Israel's lesser strike capabilities, its smaller size, its closer proximity to Iran, and ultimately, because Israel is the openly and repeatedly declared number one target of Iran's ambition to destroy it.
If Israel misses its window of opportunity to act, such a lapse would violate a central tenet of its own defense doctrine — that Israel cannot depend on any external power to deal with existential security threats — thereby making that option unthinkable. Once Israeli intelligence agencies and senior military command levels conclude that the clock has struck one minute to midnight, no amount of pressure from allies will succeed in dissuading it from acting in self-preservation.
A military strike would not be a goal in itself, as Iran could go right back to reactivating its program, but it would be a last resort designed to accomplish what years of talks could not: to push Iran back from the nuclear brink.
Israel's strike capabilities remain a closely guarded secret, but according to international media reports, the Israel Air Force has more than 100 F15i and F16i fighter jets that can fly to Iran and return without the need to refuel, as well as, for other jets, advanced midair refueling capabilities that would allow them to strike multiple Iranian targets. According to the reports, Israel also possesses long-range Jericho ground-to-ground missiles.
Any strike, moreover, would be unimaginable without the Israel Defense Force's advanced electronic warfare units.
In the event that Iran orders its Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah to retaliate with tens of thousands of rockets and missiles on the Israeli home front, Israel could respond with devastating air force strikes using new weapons systems, and a lightning ground invasion of southern Lebanon to extinguish quickly the rocket attacks and leave Hezbollah on the ropes.
No one in Israel seeks war, and few dispute that a diplomatic solution that can really freeze the threat from Tehran is the most desired outcome.
But so far, beyond empty gestures, Iran has given no indication that it is prepared to give up its program, and time is running out.

.. py:module:: editline._editline

Detailling the C-API based code implementing the primary
libedit interface.

The C-code has some documentation of its own (in comments) and
has added basic docstrings for each item.  Sphinx does not seem
to be able to pull those out unfortunately.

.. py:class:: EditLineBase(name: str, in_stream: object, out_stream: object, err_stream: object) -> object
   :module: editline._editline

      Bases: :class:`object`

      This is the base-interface class for binding to NetBSD's libedit library.
      It implements a similar functionality as readline.so but using a different API.  (It *does* have a `readline` API but that has been tried and beaten a lot in the readline extension to moderate avail.  It has greatly over complicated that extension and really does not work too well...)

      :param name:       A name of the instance
      :param in_stream:  A file-like object where the `input` is pulled
      :param out_stream: A file-like object where the `output` is pushed
      :param err_stream: A file-like object where the `errors` are pushed

      :returns: EditLineBase class instance

      .. :rubrik: Notes

      Each `stream` must implement the `fileno()` member function so that a C FILE handle can be opened and used based on that `fileno`.

      :param text: the command-line text to be completed

      :returns: All available commands which have `text` as a prefix.

      .. rubric:: Notes

      This routine is, effectively, a Python callback from libedit's completion
      coding from within the C-API. The goal is to do the bulk of the command
      "figuring-out" in Python where it is sooooo much easier to manage lists
      of strings.

      .. warning::

         This routine is a *default* and must be overidden in a subclass.

   .. py:method:: EditLineBase.delete_text(count: int)
      :module: editline._editline

      Scrub out `count` characters of the command-line at the current position

      :param count: count of characters to be removed

      :returns: Nothing

   .. py:method:: EditLineBase.insert_text(text: str)
      :module: editline._editline

      Insert some additional text onto the command line at the current position.

      :param text: the text string to be inserted into the current command-line

      :returns: Nothing

   .. py:method:: EditLineBase.readline() -> str
      :module: editline._editline

      Engage the user interactively in a tab-completion enable input.

      :returns: string input by user

   .. py:method:: EditLineBase.redisplay()
      :module: editline._editline

      Force the terminal library to re-draw the current command-line.

      :returns: Nothing

   .. py:method:: EditLineBase.history(cmd: int, *args)
      :module: editline._editline

      Direct interface to libedit's `history` API.

      :param cmd: an H\_ constant from the class
      :param args: arguments vary based on the cmd

      :returns: Varies based on the cmd

      .. rubric:: Notes

      The details for arguments pertaining to each H\_ command value are best
      documented in libedit's history.3 man-page.

   .. py:method:: EditLineBase.read_history_file(read_history_file: str) -> int
      :module: editline._editline

      Load the given filename into the history buffer.  The format of
      this file is defined by libedit itself and is best generated with
      write_history_file().

      :param fname: filename of the file to load into history

      :returns: Error code on failure or 0 on success

   .. py:method:: EditLineBase.write_history_file(write_history_file: str) -> int
      :module: editline._editline

      Write out the accumulated history of commands input in this instance
      to a file of the given name.

      :param fname: filename of the file to write

      :returns: Error code on failure or 0 on success

  .. :rubrik: Infrastructure Notes

  The general implementation of this module contains two aspects:

     - EditLineBase class for instances of interpreters
     - Module global initializations for system interface (`python -i`)

  In order to engage the terminal completion using editline, it is necessary
  for it to be loaded and setup with a lineeditor instance.  The EditLineBase
  subclass provides the more specific support for Python's interpreter (or a
  custom one if you build it) and works with lineeditor to provide the fancier
  functionality of the tab-completer.  To configure the global instance, the
  code is:

.. code-block:: python
   :caption: EditLine Bootstrap

     from editline import _editline
     from editline.editline import EditLine
     from editline import lineeditor
     editline_system = _editline.get_global_instance()
     if editline_system is None:
         sys_el = EditLine("PythonSystem", sys.stdin, sys.stdout, sys.stderr)
         _editline.set_global_instance(sys_el)

         sys_line_ed = lineeditor.EditlineCompleter(sys_el)
         lineeditor.global_line_editor(sys_line_ed)

This code is implemented in the sitecustomize.py file distributed (and installed!) by this package.

   Libedit works on a *per-instance* basis which is quite unlike libreadline's  mess of global variables.  Likewise, the Python infrastructure for EditLine follows libedit's lead.

   To that end, the code above is:

   - Creating the *global* instances of an EditLine and a Completer
   - These are each registered with their respective modules so that other imports of the modules can gain access to those instances.  This is more-or-less like doing `import readline`.

   There are further details of how to weave the infrastructure into the Python interpreter's mechanics.  Have a look at `sitecustomize.py` for the gory details.

   The mechanics which are *not* apparent from `sitecustomize.py` are the C-API bindings done in _editline.so.

   A (global) callback is registered with the Python runtime which is called in interactive mode to engage the readline functionality.  This routine is a C-function *only*, called ``call_editline()``.  Its interface is defined by the Python infrastructure and it depends on having a valid instance of an EditLineBase subclass initialized and registered *before* the terminal is used.   Hence the code in `sitecustomize.py`.  This is emulated from the `readline` implementation.

Israeli Flavor And Fragrance Company Frutarom Sells For $7.1 Billion
Written by Mara Vigevani/TPS on May 07, 2018
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (NYSE:IFF) (Euronext Paris: IFF), an American corporation producing flavors and fragrances and cosmetic actives, which it markets globally, will purchase the Israeli flavor and fragrance company Frutarom Industries Ltd., listed on the Tel Aviv and London Stock Exchanges, in a cash and share deal worth $7.1 billion.
The deal is the second-largest exit of an Israeli company, following the sale of Mobileye, which creates computer vision systems for driver assistance and autonomous driving, for $15.2 billion to Intel last March.
Frutarom's shareholders will receive for each Frutarom share $71.19 in cash and 0.249 per share of IFF common stock for a total value of $106.25 per share.
Frutarom, established in 1933 in Haifa, markets and sells over 31,000 products to more than 15,500 customers in over 140 countries, has 41 R&D labs and 79 sales and marketing offices throughout the world and operates 34 production facilities in Europe, North America, Israel and Asia. Frutarom employs 2,700 employees worldwide.
"This transaction is a big win and a fantastic outcome for shareholders, customers, and employees of both companies," said IFF Chairman and CEO, Andreas Fibig in a press release published on the IFF website. "Frutarom has an extremely attractive product portfolio, including broad expertise in naturals and diverse adjacencies with capabilities beyond our core taste and scent businesses. We have long admired Frutarom and have a great deal of respect for its team and all of its dedicated and talented employees around the globe. We look forward to welcoming Frutarom to the IFF family," he added.
Ori Yehudai, President, and CEO of Frutarom said in a press release that Frutarom is extremely excited to combine with IFF and create global leadership in natural taste, scent, and nutrition. "The growth potential for the combined company is substantial, and our shareholders will continue to enjoy this upside," he said.

Fort Worth dazzles with a wide range of artistic offerings
Wayne Anderson
Billed as the "Cultural Capital of the Southwest," Fort Worth, Texas, is a premier destination for art fans because of its five world-class museums.
We visited three: the Kimbell Art Museum, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. Each is noted for its unique architectural style, and each has a different artistic focus.
Designed in 1972 by Louis I. Kahn, the Kimbell museum is itself a work of art. The Kimbell focuses on European and Asian art from the third millennium B.C. to the mid-20th century. We were surprised by the number of old masters represented by at least one painting. This is unusual because it is a relatively new museum, set up at a time when most old masters already were owned by the major museums of the world.
Caravaggio, Cezanne, Matisse, El Greco, Rembrandt, Velázquez, Picasso, van Gogh and Titian are among the many artists included. Especially informative was the free audio tour, during which two experts explained the paintings. With the press of a button, we could get even more information about a particular painting or the artist.
"Caravaggio and His Followers in Rome," a new exhibit running through Jan. 8, honors the 400th anniversary of the artist's death.
The well-planned gallery arrangement adds to the pleasure of visiting the art and the collections of Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquities. The paintings were originally collected by Kay Kimbell and his wife, Velma. They were donated to the museum in 1964 when he died. He also left the funds needed to build a museum to hold them.
Even more impressive as a building is the massive Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, with its giant glass-and-steel walls surrounded in part by a lake with a large fountain. This second-largest modern art museum in the country has been called in ArtForum "the most elegant museum in the entire country." This kind of praise makes the building itself worth going out of one's way to see and enjoy. The building, designed by architect Tadao Ando in 2002, has won numerous architectural prizes. This is one of the few buildings we've visited we can truly say is breathtaking.
The collection itself is full of surprises. The visitor can catch up with the latest developments in photography, video and digital imagery. Films from all over the world are shown regularly; the museum will host three film festivals in the coming months.
Finally, we visited the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, another architectural masterpiece, this time by the architect Philip Johnson. Here we focused our attention on the Charles M. Russell and Frederic Remington section, a collection of 400 works by the two greatest artists of the American West that focused on how they worked and lived. For example, Russell's wife, Nancy, wrote, "The little things in life always did thrill him, and no one could live near him without taking on some of that child-like joy from little things."
All in all, we had a good day but were sorry we did not have time to visit the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame, the only one of its kind honoring distinguished women of the American West.

Albuquerque Changes Records Policy In Response To Complaints
By Marisa Demarco • Jul 9, 2014

The New Mexico Foundation for Open Government announced today that the City of Albuquerque will charge no more than $6.75 for DVDs and $2.75 for CDs for public records requests. This is a big win for not just journalists but everyone with an interest in accessing records that are available under the law. The change provides fair, consistent rates and lets people know what prices to expect in advance.
At the beginning of April, I filed a public records request for all of the audio and video associated with 24 fatal, Albuquerque police officer-involved shootings since 2010. On May 1, the city alerted me that my records were ready to pick up. But they came with a hefty price tag: $1,160—that's $20 for each DVD and cassette. I requested the records on behalf of the New Mexico Compass, a nonprofit startup dedicated to transparent, open-access journalism for which I'm editor in chief.
The Compass couldn't afford the records. The same is probably true for most individuals seeking records who are not backed by organizations with budgets for this kind of thing.
For folks new to this conversation: New Mexico has a law in place called the Inspection of Public Records Act that's a little tougher than the national law, the Freedom of Information Act. If you hear people talking about IPRA or FOIA requests, that's what they're referencing.
So what's a public record? According to NM FOG, that term includes any materials used on behalf of a public body that relates to public business.
The IPRA comes from a 1977 ruling from the state Supreme Court that says the public's right to know is the rule, and secrecy is the exception. Think about those words for a minute. They're excellent. You have the right to know exactly what the government or its agencies are up to. And if government wants to keep something a secret, it has to prove why.
But the price barrier is an issue. I asked if the city would waive the $1,600 fee in the public interest, allow us to provide thumb drive and download the material for free, or come down and view the records in person. This is all standard procedure for accessing records. The answer to each request was no. NM FOG tried to negotiate our fee down and didn't have any luck.
So I scrambled. I borrowed some cash and enlisted the help of media partners KUNM and Citizen Media Group in covering that fee. It's lucky that I have such supportive family, community and colleagues. But it's important to remember that not everyone does. And under the law, everyone should have access to records.
When my coworkers and I went to pick up the records, we were confronted with an even more bizarre experience. The records custodian had handed them over, and I paid. The cashier accepted my money, then walked back into her office and returned with odd news: The city attorney had called down and said they weren't releasing the records after all. I refused to give them back, and after a few tense minutes, someone came downstairs and said we could take them.
The Compass made many attempts to understand why this happened and why we were charged so much. We've gotten no response. In conversations with reporters for other outlets in Albuquerque, I discovered that they're charged a wide range of fees for the same records. Some outlets get records for free.
We met with NM FOG to talk about the issue. We wanted to advocate for consistent pricing that's obvious to everyone. And agencies shouldn't be able to get away with charging $20 per record. The fee should not impede access to records.
About two weeks ago, I got a call from Albuquerque's Assistant City Attorney Greg Wheeler. He said the city was going to send me a check for $768.50, refunding two-thirds of our payment. That means we ended up paying the rate that the city will be charging in the future. I asked Wheeler why we were charged so much in the first place and what had made them change their minds about our fee.
"Because it seemed like the right thing to do," he said.
That's not much of an explanation, but Wheeler's right. It is the right thing to do.
I still have a lot of questions I'm trying to get answers to, there are more records battles to be won, and we're only at the beginning of an in-depth KUNM and Compass police records project. As a team, we'll be reporting on what the audio and video reveal, especially as they relate to public health and mental health. And the Compass will be launching a project later this month to create a searchable database of the records available to everyone.
Today, it's great to see the city responding to concerns and working toward a good, fair policy on records and fees. Not just for me, not just for journalists—for everyone.

Crumpet Loaf is Award Winner
Greenhalgh's has won a top honour for Product innovation at the annual Baking Industry Awards 2012 evening on Wednesday 12th September (the equivalent of the Industry Oscars) after wowing judges with a new Australian-inspired delicacy the Crumpet Loaf.
The winning loaf was created by Greenhalgh's Bakery Manager, Stephen Jones, after Director David Smart asked him to replicate a half scone, half crumpet 'chewy bread' he had discovered during a visit to Australia. Several weeks later, Stephen had not only replicated it but improved its colour, crumb, crust and texture and Greenhalgh's version of the Crumpet Loaf was born.
Already a hit with customers, judges at the Baking Industry Awards were similarly impressed. Stephen's efforts were recognised last night in front of more than 800 industry guests at a gala awards ceremony at London's Park Lane Hilton, as he was presented with the award by former Neighbours, Joseph and Strictly Come Dancing star, Jason Donovan together with John Cummings, Category Director of Bakery at award sponsor Asda.Celebrating the award, Stephen, who has worked at Greenhalgh's for 27 years, said: "Crumpet Loaf is basically flour, yeast, sugar, water, and baking powder so it's is like a crumpet mix. It's quite unique and a great breakfast or teatime treat. We trialed it in our shops and customers just love it."


Discussion in 'Chips+Salsa' started by Hanna Hebestreit, Apr 5, 2016.
How is the output data of the development kit? A matrix with 256 or 512 samplers to get information over the distance and then the "time" samplings? so 512 x time sampling?
What kind of information do we get? Amplitude of phase information? in Voltage? DAC counts? etc.
The Cayenne has an X1 radar chip which has a 512 sampler which is a default distance of 2 meters. This is also with the default setting of the Range Accuracy of 4mm. I would recommend looking at the Cayenne Datasheet for more information on that.
The Ancho has an X2 radar chip which has a 256 sampler which has a default distance of 1 meter.
Both systems can be frame stitched to get longer distances.
Finally, the information you get are DAC counts which are related to the voltage. You can also use our library functions to get more information out such as the amplitude of the phase.
Why do we have oscillations in the raw radar data? Do the oscillations occur due to the gaussian pulse? So the interference of the reflected pulses from varios objects?
I assume you are referring to the oscillations in the pulse itself? The Cayenne (X1) is a 1st order Gaussian pulse approximation, while the Ancho (X2) is an 11th order Gaussian pulse approximation. Please refer to the respective radar chip data sheets for more information on this. Depending on the environment, i.e. multi-path, and the number of targets in the antenna field of view; yes, there could be numerous pulses converging in similar spots that would cause the oscillations to merge and appear lengthened, or cancel each other.
Regarding the pulse shape I have a question. You try to approximate a Gaussian modulated sinusoidal pulse or a pure Gaussian pulse? I uploaded a graph with both of them. Because if I look at the time domain of your pulse (Ancho X2) it looks more like the Gaussian modulated sinusoidal pulse. I think sometimes its also called Gaussian pulse, but I have few experience on this topic, so I want to be sure which shape you try to approximate (red or blue).
I think the short answer you are looking for is "blue"
If you do for example a down conversion to baseband the answer is "red".
Either way, pulse absolute bandwidth and envolope will be the same.
See also the X2 datasheet for information about the different pulse generator settings, PGSELECT in particular, and it's characteristics.

A skins game is a type of scoring for various sports. It has its origins in golf but has been adapted for disc golf, curling and bowling.

Golf
In golf, a skins event has players compete for prize money on each individual hole.

Skins Game, PGA Tour

There was an annual skins game for male professional golfers which took place in November or December each year after the end of the official PGA Tour season (1983–2008). It was recognized by the PGA Tour but did not count towards the official money list.

Telus Skins Game

There is an annual skins game in Canada for male professional golfers which takes place in June or July each year. It is recognized by the PGA Tour but does not count towards the official money list.  It is currently sponsored by Telus and is officially known as the Telus World Skins Game, hosted at a different golf course each year within Canada.

The Telus Skins Game also incorporated a theme, a "world" theme. The "world" theme incorporates five golfers from different countries).

Notes
The popularity of the tournament led to the term skins game being used to refer to progressive jackpot events where if a prize is not won, it is carried over to the next round for a combined jackpot.

At least in the early versions of the Jack Nicklaus Golf series of computer games, players were given a choice of stroke play or Skins rules (and in the initial set-up of a game, could set any value for any hole).

Curling
A skins game format has also been adapted to the game of curling. In this format, teams play for ends, not scoring within an end, though points (or in some competitions, prize money as in golf's version) may be assigned to each end. To win an end, the team that has "the hammer" — the one which throws the last stone in the end, an inherent advantage — must score at least two points (under normal scoring rules) to win the end. The other team may win the end by stealing one point. If the team with the hammer gets only one point or the end is blanked, then the game points or prize money associated with that end carry over to the next, as with the golf skins game. If there are unclaimed skins after the final end, they are usually played off with a "draw to the button" — each team throws a single stone into an empty house (target), with the stone coming closest to the button (center) winning.

Scoring in curling skins games is done in one of two methods: in one method, an "S" is denoted if a team wins a skin, and a "C" is denoted for the team with the hammer if there is a carryover.  In any event, a "0" is denoted for the other team, and an asterisk is placed beside the team with the hammer.  In the other method, an "X" is denoted if a team wins a skin, and a "0" is denoted if the skin is carried over (under the team with the hammer), with the other team's entry for the end being blank.  This method, however, does not keep track of which team will have the hammer in an end (which instead must be determined based on the score markings).

The Continental Cup of Curling is the best-known bonspiel to utilize the skins format. In this bonspiel, the skins portion is played for a total of 30 points, with point values assigned to each end as follows: One half point each for the first six ends, one point each for the seventh and eighth ends. There are 6 skins games with 5 skins available each game. These points are combined with those earned in earlier matches of mixed doubles, singles skills and traditional team games to determine the winner of the Cup.

The TSN Skins Game was an annual tournament which featured skins games. The Network was restarted in 2007.

The Skins Game was thought to have been invented by Doug Maxwell, a noted innovator in the sport. Early skins games often consisted of ten ends, the standard length of a modern competitive curling game. Today, largely on account of the influence of television, eight end games (the usual length of a recreational or semi-competitive curling game) has become the standard for skins competition.

To Do The Heavy Lifting
A recent talking points memo by the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) seeks to clarify some aspects of the new direction in regards to the cancelled Project Constellation. Touted by some as "compromise," it asserts that NASA will develop and build a new "Orion lite" crew vehicle whose primary mission will be to serve as an escape pod for the crew of the International Space Station (ISS). And more interestingly, the policy "Begins major work on building a new heavy lift rocket sooner, with a commitment to decide in 2015 on the specific heavy-lift rocket that will take us deeper into space."
I'm confused. If a heavy lift launch vehicle (HLLV) is not needed for future human missions beyond LEO, why are we spending billions of dollars researching aspects of it in order to make a design decision five years hence? If a heavy lift launch vehicle is needed for such missions, why are we waiting five years to make that decision when we have the parts and workforce needed to make the vehicle now?
Let's break this down a bit. What exactly is a heavy lift launch vehicle and what is its significance to spaceflight and more specifically, to sending people beyond low Earth orbit (LEO)? The Space Shuttle orbiter carries a bit more than 24 metric tonnes (mT; 52,800 lbs.) to orbit. That would seem to qualify as heavy lift. But the old Saturn V could launch 118 mT (260,000 lbs.) to low Earth orbit. That capability allowed us to launch the complete Apollo spacecraft (three modules) and its Earth departure stage (S-IVB) in one fell swoop. The cancelled Ares V launch vehicle was to have carried up to 188 mT to LEO (over 400,000 lbs). These indeed are heavy lift launchers.
Why do we need heavy lift? On this topic, thought among space engineers falls into two broad categories – those who think that heavy lift of the Saturn V variety (~100 mT to LEO) is the sine qua non for human missions beyond LEO, and those who think we can develop an incremental approach that uses the smaller vehicles currently available, such as the medium-lift class Atlas V (21 mT to LEO) and Delta IV-Heavy (25.8 mT to LEO) launchers. The basic philosophical difference centers around what can be done in space versus what has to be done on Earth.
The Saturn V was built so that a single, self-contained lunar mission could be launched on one vehicle. This meant that the crew could focus their efforts solely on their lunar voyage and not have to concern themselves with assembling a larger, more complex vehicle in Earth orbit. In modern terms of human flight beyond LEO, the big advantage of heavy lift is that you can use fewer launches to get the same amount of equipment and material in space, thus reducing the chance that a single launch failure might cause a mission abort. Propellant can "boil off" in space, especially the very cold (cryogenic) liquid oxygen and hydrogen that fuel the most powerful chemical rockets. It is also assumed that assembling a few large pieces in space is simpler than assembling many more smaller ones. But now we've learned quite a bit about assembly in space from construction of the ISS.
Critics of new heavy lift vehicle development point to the high costs associated with new vehicle development. They also point out that there are new techniques and technologies that can help us venture into the Solar System with existing launch vehicles. One of those ideas are depots where propellant is collected and used to fuel empty vehicles for journeys beyond LEO. A detailed architecture that features propellant depots and that does not require a new heavy lift vehicle has already been published. Many groups strongly advocate this approach.
Which brings us back to the new OSTP document. This new document indicates that work will proceed on development of a heavy lift launch vehicle, with a decision on what vehicle to build coming in 2015 ( note well: not building a vehicle, but making a decision on what vehicle to build). How will our decision on heavy lift be more informed in five years than it is now?
In five years, all the Shuttle manufacturing and assembly infrastructure, including tooling dies, assembly jigs, milling facilities and solid-rocket booster production lines will have been disassembled, mothballed or discarded. Some of this shutdown has already begun. The skilled workforce that now builds and operates the Shuttle launch system will dissipate (people have families to support and cannot stand around waiting for a decision five years – maybe never – down the road). There will be no experience base to build, assemble and launch a heavy-lift vehicle within NASA or industry.
I have written previously that a Shuttle-derived heavy lift vehicle can be built now, with existing piece parts and minimal changes to the assembly and launch infrastructure at Michoud and the Cape. Such a vehicle can launch 80 mT to LEO; two launches can send a human mission to the Moon. And it is completely affordable, fitting into the existing run-out budget and available for use within a few years. Currently, robotic missions are discovering and analyzing the vast resources of the Moon. More robotic missions are needed to begin the processing of lunar resources in preparation for human return and expansion beyond LEO. These are all things NASA can afford to do now.
This re-invention of NASA, as trickled out by the administration, has been eagerly seized upon by many in the "New Space" community, as their long sought, free-market (but government funded – for now) opening at building a commercial rocket industry. Some of us (who also believe in free markets) see different motives for this new direction and are particularly concerned that the new " flexible path (FP)" doesn't have any specified destination or mission.
The fundamental fecklessness of the new direction is exposed in this new OSTP document; we will build a Crew Return Vehicle for ISS that is not needed (if we can get there on the Soyuz, we can certainly return on it) and we will conduct "research" on heavy lift technologies that are already well understood.
Maybe it's not so confusing after all.

When I was 22 I bought a one-way ticket to Italy. For one year, I worked in Florence as an assistant to the amazing Judy Witts at Divina Cucina. Not only was it the beginning of a long, deep, rich love affair with Italian ingredients and techniques in the kitchen, but it formed my touchstone for how I believe one should value food - in life and in the world. In the New Year, the new currency of food is about Values. Both consumers and some visionary companies are rewriting the values formula of our food system. The Italians, of course, have long held their food unapologetically to a higher standard than we have. There's no elitism or snobbery around it, rather a different vision - shared by seemingly everyone in that boot shaped paradise - all around what matters most. I distilled what I believe are the top four nutrition lessons from Italians - those that still drive my thinking and my messages today with MindBodyGreen.
And, I fished this photo out of a photo box (remember those?) from the very first day I spent in Florence over 20 years ago.
